The next thing that I came across while cleaning out my freezer was some leftover gravy from the pot roast that I made a while ago. As soon as I found the gravy memories of the sweet potato poutine came back and I was craving more. I remembered hearing about a vegetable version of poutine that replaced the fries with other vegetables. I was thinking that this was a good idea and the first thing that came to mind was green beans as they have a shape that is similar to fries. Some sauteed mushrooms sounded like they would finish off the dish nicely. The green bean and sauteed mushroom poutine turned out great! I guess you really can't go wrong with smothering any vegetable with cheese curds and tasty gravy. The green beans make this decadent treat just a bit leas unhealthy than the fries would have been. :)

Directions:
1. Melt the butter in a pan.
2. Add the mushrooms and saute until just starting to caramelize, about 10-15 minutes.
3. Add the green beans and saute until tender, about 3-5 minutes. (Or steam the green beans until tender.)
4. Heat the gravy in a pan until boiling.
5. Split the green beans, sauteed mushrooms, cheese curds between two plates and top with the piping hot gravy.

Pam: Cheese curds are the fresh curds of cheese from before they are packed into a brick I believe. They are a mild cheese that is ideally eaten when fresh. When eaten it squeaks a bit and it is nice and gooey when melted.

I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.
